Phoenix Gold Oz Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 Hi All, It's been a crazy week and I know I'm skipping ahead to the end without brining you all up to sped with the build progress. We have tons of pics to put up, but thought you might want a sneak peek of the semi-finished project... Enjoy the Vids!!! More soon! Scott
Namosh Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Turned out great! My Ram Quad Cab Blow-through
Phoenix Gold Oz Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 Another quick video from today...it was absolutely pouring rain outside, but luckily we snuck into the dB Drag Racing Pavilion to stay dry. Here's what happened as soon as we turned it on: We couldn't do too many demos since they were trying to do SQ judging and we kept drowning out the PA system too LOL!!! That was OK though because the Finals for the Grand Master's Burnout Contest was on too, so we got to head over ands watch it ALL!!! Enjoy! Scott

Phoenix Gold Oz Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 absolutely beautiful construction. and an awesome way to fit that much equipment in that car! Well gotta thank Hank Veach for the help with the math/ratios for the enclosure design! Also gotta thank Fab, Bec, Glenn, everyone at Stinger Australia and Phatt Audio, and everyone else that sacrificed all their free time, and put up with my mood swings to get this thing happening!!! It's still not 100% Finished (but when are any builds LOL) and we'll take a quick break before adding some more final touches! Stay tuned for more progress and more vids! Cheers, Scott

Phoenix Gold Oz Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Posted September 14, 2012 Hi All, It's been awhile since we last updated this build log, but there hasn't been a lot of significant changes since the last updates. As many of you have heard/seen the Astra does some decent numbers with a Pb of 152.1dB at 32Hz (on music) but more impressively we also do a 151.7dB at 22Hz on music as well. The 'issues' we've been having with the box has all been linked to the shape of the centre chamber. Basically we didn't make the angle of the baffles steep enough, so there is too much airspace at the back of the box and not enough at the front. What that means is that most of our pressure is actually going to the back of the box. In testing we put the Termlab meter on a broomstick and moved it around the box and vehicle. We used a 30Hz tone and found that at the back of the box we were doing 161.x dB at 30Hz, but in the port we were only getting 147dB, we would then gain back about 5dB at the dash for a 152.xdB on the dash (our Pb in testing was 153.1dB with driver's door open) What we would like to do is try a different layout / box design to see if we can get rid of 'some' of the cancellation. We haven't decided on a final design yet, but while we do we are pulling out all of the amplifiers, batteries and subwoofers to give everything a thorough once over. The've all been beaten on pretty hard for the last 10 months and we need to see if we broke anything. So here's where we're at... Stay Tuned for more updates this afternoon! Cheers, Scott
